May You Never - John Martyn

And may you never lay your head down

Without a hand to hold

May you never make your bed out in the coldYou’re just like a great strong brother of mine

You know that I love you true

And you never talk dirty behind my back

And I know that there’s those that do

Oh please won’t you, please won’t you

Bear it in mind

Love is a lesson to learn in our time

Now please won’t you, please won’t you

Bear it in mind for me

And may you never lay your head down

Without a hand to hold

May you never make your bed out in the cold

Well you’re just like a good close sister to me

You know that I love you true

And you hold no blade to stab me in the back

And I know that there’s some that do

Oh please won’t you, please won’t you

Bear it in mind

Love is a lesson to learn in our time

And please won’t you, please won’t you

Bear it in mind for me

May you never lay your head down

Without a hand to hold

May you never make your bed out in the cold

You’re just like a great strong brother of mine

And you know that I love you true

And you never talk dirty behind my back

And I know that there’s those that do

Oh please won’t you, please won’t you

Bear it in mind

Love is a lesson to learn in our time

And please won’t you, please won’t you

Bear it in mind for me

May you never lose your temper

If you get in a bar room fight

May you never lose your woman overnight

May you never lay your head down

Without a hand to hold

May you never make your bed out in the cold

May you never lose your temper

If you get in a bar room fight

May you never lose your woman over night

May you never lose your woman over night

May you never lose your woman over night
